Longfish Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone has ever tried using an old pair of cricket or running spikes on the rocks?... seem pretty much the same thing as the ice style slip over cleats... but I have old spikes so would be cheaper. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormy Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 They would work for a while, depending on how worn they are. It's not like a pair of good stainless steel ones cost all that much, but if you do get your feet knocked out from under you, you can always say "I wish I hadn't taken the cheapest option" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fab1 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I use these,they have replaceable stainless spikes and come in handy for the lawn too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abecedarian Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 In the old days people used to use bottle caps screwed on to sneakers. Cricket spikes would be fine until they wear and become polished round then the won't grip. Then they need replacing but that is the same with crampons, cleats or boots made specifically for rock fishing. They all wear out, some a little slower than others. Cricket spikes may be more comfortable too which is a big plus, but may get more saturated which is a downside... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
